PEABODY, MA—Carta Jerusalem, the long-established cartographic firm that holds the world’s largest collection of biblical study materials, is now partnering with Hendrickson Publishers to extend its distribution to stores and retailers in North America. This is effective March 1, 2015.

Carta’s prestigious publications include maps, texts, and illustrations depicting history and historical geography of Bible lands and cultures, as well as the turbulent history of Jerusalem and other sacred sites, biblical and later archaeology of the Holy Land, and a variety of related subjects such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and more.

“We are dedicated to honoring faith and tradition, promoting scholarship, and keeping up to date on discoveries and research,” said Shay Hausman, president and CEO of Carta Jerusalem. “So we are thrilled to partner with Hendrickson Publishers, who are like-minded in their desire to produce high-quality materials for pastoral and academic communities and make them available to the widest possible public.”

Carta’s products—such as the top-selling Carta Bible Atlas and The Sacred Bridge (Carta’s atlas of the biblical world)—complement Hendrickson’s current academic publishing program, which serves the academic community worldwide with works on the Hebrew Bible and Hebrew language, ancient Near Eastern studies and archaeology, New Testament and Greek language, biblical theology, Judaism, patristics, church history, historical theology, practical theology, and religion and culture.

“We are very excited to be representing Carta Jerusalem to the trade in North America,” said Rick Brown, Publisher at Hendrickson. “This is a high profile partnership that further strengthens our history of outfitting scholars, students, and pastors with the appropriate tools to study the Bible.”
